Re: Ralfy takes apart JW Blue

Ralfy uses the term "malt blend" over blended malt due to the confusion.

That makes sense, the first term "malt" sets up the second "blend" and more clearly indicates just malt in the bottle vs "blended malt" which could make one think something other than malt was blended into malt whisky.

Re: Ralfy takes apart JW Blue

I don't own a bottle, and I probably never will, but I've tasted the Blue. Ralfy hit it on the nose. It's waaaaayyyyy over priced for nothing especially exceptional. I love the Green. The Black is good. The Red sucks.

Re: Ralfy takes apart JW Blue

"Johnnie Walker Green Label is blended only from single malts which include its four signature malts Talisker, Cragganmore, Linkwood, and Caol Ila."

Well, at least it has good malts (don't know anything about Linkwood).

If I ever see it at a good price I may consider it. Binny's shows it for 69.99, which is more than most of the single malts going into it, assuming their standard expressions. Talisker 10 $59.99, Cragganmore 12 $49.99,
Caol Ila 12 $54.99, Linkwood maybe $59-69.
